If you're one of 'those' people, there's a great selection of hard Christmas candy at the bottom of this page. I've scouted around for the best deals for you.
Want to make your own? Great! Here are some adorable and simple recipes
that you can use to make beautiful hard Christmas candies in just a
matter of minutes.

to supervise carefully because of the hot oven, but otherwise, they can
do most of the 'work.'
